A Faerie's Revenge

The political intrigue adds so much depth to the story, but I wonder if the author based it on real-world power struggles or created it from scratch.

I loved the world-building, but some parts felt a bit slow—was that intentional to build tension or just natural to the story flow?

It made the fae characters feel more layered, but I’m curious if that contrast was planned from the beginning or evolved during writing.
